Custom authentication plus Realm for just roles?

Leonard Sitongia

Hi,

Could I get some pointers into incorporating my own authentication into
Tomcat's container managed security while using a JDBC realm for just
the role information?

We have a local authentication mechanism that provides an API with a
class, for example, that returns a boolean given a username/password
pair. I'd like to use that, incorporating it into my own custom realm.
But, it doesn't have role information, so I want to supplement the
authentication we have with the authorization part of it, in a way that
works within Tomcat's container managed security.

Thanks for your help!
